• 1 Sliding on/off switch (32) at the front part.
• 1 Cannon socket (33) for the accessory
power supply.
• The stabilized 5 volt supply.
• 1 Souriau socket for electrical connections

PILOTONE MODULE
The ACL servo-control led crystal motor
allows the shooting of sync. sound without any
cable connection between the camera and the
tape recorder if the latter is equipped with a
crystal controlled motor (e.g. Nagra 4,
Perfectone E P 6 A2, Stellavox). Such a system
(diagram KL) does not permit the use of the
clapper.
If, however, the two units Camera and
recorder are connected by a cable, the clapper
will function (diagram L M). See additional
information page 29 for connection and use.
When the recorder has no crystal, the
synchronization can be ensured by using the
Eclair pilotone- module (option) which contains
its own signal.
THE ECLAIR PILOTONE MODULE is
contained in a metal cover. Its size: 92 x 66 x 23
mm is slightly larger than a packet of 20 ciga-
rettes (fig. Y and Z). it is a crystal pilot f req
uency generator 50-60 and 100 H Z.
